Slip and Fall
As simple as they may seem, a slip or fall can be very dangerous and will need representation by a slip and fall attorney.
This area of personal injury witnesses thousands of injuries and slip and fall lawsuits every year in the United States. An almost invisible crack or a small amount of soapy water can leave a victim in a wheelchair or with a permanent spinal cord injury.
But there are many layers to premises liability, which is the area of law that encompassed slip and fall injuries.
It can become very complicated when trying to determine fault, and to determine whether conditions were indeed hazardous.
Slip and fall attorneys handle four general types of slip and fall accidents:
Trip-and-fall accidents, where there is a foreign object in the walking path.
Stump-and-fall accidents, where there is an impediment in the walking surface.
Step-and-fall accidents, where there is an unexpected failure or hole in the walking surface.
Slip-and-fall accidents, in which the interface of the shoe and the floor fails.
